Mission Drive-In San Antonio
Texas
In June 2005 I received
an e-mail from Anthony Arizpe about the Mission Drive-In in San Antonio Texas
here are his comments......
"First opened in '47,I have an ad from the 70's when it was a twin, and don't
know if it was a twin originally. I also don't know when the other two screens
were added. It was bought by Santikos Theaters in '01, and shows first run movies
now. I saw Kill Bill there. It's a shame they painted over the glass bricks at
the top of the column. I understand that it used to be lit when there was a simple
marquee up there too. Now the marquee is where the booths are. Very Six Flags-y.
Enjoy,
Anthony Arizpe"
Glass
blocks at the top of the screen tower? I would love to see those cleaned off and
filled with multiple colors of neon and argon tubing!
